Validate — verify what you entered

Auto-design runs a solver-backed sizing search, applies the best candidate, then runs the full validation check.

Vibration analysis

Natural frequency and resonance screening.

Material

Recommended for spring: Music wire (A228 / EN 10270-1 SH), 2 mm — Highest common tensile for carbon spring wire

Beam length

Support condition

Young's modulus

Density

Cross-sectional area

Moment of inertia

Damping ratio ζ

Light damping (ζ ≈ 0.02–0.05) for damped natural frequency estimate.

Element count

Slider up to 500 elements; type a higher value in the box if you need a finer mesh.

Option	Basis	Pass	Tradeoff
Soft system	Isolation	Check travel	Large motion
Balanced system	Frequency separation	Pass expected	Moderate response
Stiff system	Low deflection	High stiffness	Transmits vibration
